Rather than taking a gap year, we suggest you use the next two summers to improve your performance skills and prepare for auditions in anticipation of your senior year. Check out Summer Music Camps & Programshere on MajoringInMusic.com for tips on what to look for in a music program and to find lots of programs to choose from. We also suggest you get some experience volunteering with the age range you think you’d like to teach – perhaps even helping them with practicing beginning music.

I want to major in music education, because I love the idea of teaching and music is what makes me the most happy. So, is a gap year acceptable? This would be a year that I would focus on improving my abilities as a jazz saxophonist, and still performing in ensembles, etc. I just want to figure everything out before my senior year. I think a gap year could help me become more advanced with my jazz saxophone abilities. Since it would be a music education major though, would that be okay?
